Dynamic DNS Updates (was Re: [JDEV] Custom messages/extensions)

Fri Aug 2 17:16:45 CDT 2002

You have two primary options, DynDNS and updating the BIND configuration
files (and then HUPping named).  The manual should provide you with all
necessary information, but it's a pain in the anus to read.  Experiment
around with the config files a bit, though, and you'll quickly discover
what your script will need to do in order to create a new subdomain
(or remove an existing one).
